This movie is a supreme CULT movie, or the earliest CULT movie. Countless fans are madly infatuated with this film, John Lennon and countless film critics.


But what is this movie about? Senior fans, authoritative experts, come out and interpret it! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !



It seems that the more incomprehensible a movie is, the more respected it is, why is that? Many ordinary people will only think like this: I don’t understand anyway, so I pretend to like this movie, pretending to be advanced, and I won’t suffer


from the elites who came out. They quoted scriptures and said advanced professional terms, from the camera to the editing. , From music to performance, to revealing secrets, to analysis, to fabrication, to YY, it looks like a professional mess, maybe it can deceive the onlookers, I think, wow, I am the leader, I am the elite, I am so NB! ! ! ! ! ! ! !




How many people here are just following what others say, and how many blindly follow the trend?



What is this movie about? There are countless YY and interpretations. After watching the movie, you can even make up a large piece of meaning to justify yourself. The question is is it useful?


Do you want to know the real last 80 episodes of "A Dream of Red Mansions"? Do you want to know that the interpretations of the so-called experts in red science are all correct? Do you want to know if "A Dream of Red Mansions" has many meanings? In a word——————You ask Cao Xueqin to go! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !



Surrealist films, what techniques, what central ideas, what revelations, what metaphors, are very subjective things. This kind of thing is produced from the director's mind and turned into an image. Anyone who tries to analyze and infer will inevitably add it. Our own subjective feelings, the director's are inherently subjective, and the analysts have come up with a more subjective analysis, and we will be further and further away from the real answer! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !


What is this movie about? Don't believe in interpretation, just ask Alessandro!




There are two kinds of movies, the good ones and the bad ones, this one belongs to the bad ones

A: "A thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets, someone sees religion in this movie, someone sees religion in this movie I saw violence and blood, and some people saw nude pornography in this film.


Anyway, this film is very religious, this is just a personal opinion, not an authoritative comment or an official interpretation. Those who claim to be authoritative are generally disgusting!"

B : "Religious? Are you referring to the story of Moses leading the crowd out of Egypt to meet Mala, the fountain of bitter water? Are you referring to the various trials in the desert? Are you referring to the soundtrack in the film that seems to be a monk chanting? Are you referring to that A Masonic icon? Do you mean imitating Jesus' crucifixion wound and the sheep? Do you mean the final phoenix Nirvana?"

A: "I don't know, I'm just guessing, you ask the director yourself "


A: "I saw redemption in the movie, yes, redemption"

B: "Wow, it looks amazing, although I don't know what you're talking about, but it's really amazing"


A: "A vengeful shooter, The real meaning of holding a gun is not to protect the people around him, but for revenge. Hatred fills his heart. After killing the enemy with his own hands, he is bewitched by beauty, and beauty continues to tempt him with fame and fortune. Let him go deep into the desert and follow the spiral route to find the three major gunmen in the desert. These three are actually saints who have no desires, no desires, and few desires. They are all philosophers and hermits. At first, the gunman thought he was He can defeat these people, but in fact he can never win, because the realm of the three hermits is beyond his reach, but the beauty continues to deceive him and let him use despicable means to defeat the three saints, and he gets deeper and deeper. He got deeper and deeper, and eventually another gunman who followed him wounded him and took away the beauty that bewitched him."

A: "He was seriously injured and was rescued by a group of old, weak, sick and disabled. When he was in a coma, the people who rescued him were worshipped as a god. After waking up, he finally found a goal that he could strive for his whole life. In order to save these deep caves The weak at the bottom, he also found his love while helping the weak get out of trouble, they begged for performances, did dirty work, and even sold their bodies for money, and finally, under their constant digging, the weak underground finally saw the light of day!"

B: "Although his body is defiled, his great spirit makes him immortal"


A: "Wow, you can say such a reasonable thing, you are not an ordinary onlooker! Go on, those who have seen the sun again rushed out of the ground. Caves poured into the town, but there lived a bunch of cruel, mad, merciless, shameless people who massacred them, and the gunman who had become a saint could not save their lives when he arrived , the gunman picked up the gun and killed all those cruel people. Finally, he set himself on fire in the town, completed the phoenix nirvana, and completed his own redemption. "


Why do you hold the gun in your hand, mole, you need to find the answer yourself (ha Haha, Qin Shimingyue)

All those who strive to save the common people will be saved and all
those who serve the people will be saved
